Book Synopsis Financing American Religion by : Mark Chaves
Book excerpt: Brings together short essays that emerged from an evaluation of the Lilly Endowment Inc.'s Financing American Religion initiative. Nineteen chapters (some previously published in well known works and others only in difficult-to-find pamphlets) explore who gives, how much, and why. They investigate how money moves and how it affects religious organizational behavior as well as how attitudes toward money have altered over time. Topics include individual giving as well as congregations and religious organizations and their resources. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
